LOL,
Just reading about the wipes made me chuckle a little...& a little warning!.....
I was using various unscented varieties for a while (the non-flushable) ones and putting them down the loo.
I hate to say they did cause us a bit of a plumbing issue as our drains started to overflow one day & the cause was the baby wipes!! Ashamed to say, I blamed it on my 5 year old at that time!.........

LOL ETO! I did cause plumbing issues as well but that was when I was throwing out multiple wipes at a time. I sadly don't have any kids I could blame it on though :) that did make me laugh!
Kathy if you think you may have issues with the plumbing you could try disposing of the wipes in the garbage. I know it's not ideal but hopefully you won't have any overflowing toilets that way!
I'm feeling so-so today ...keep thinking I have a fever but whenever I take my temperature it's still okay. Prob just my body coping with recovery!

When I still had the setons in my BMs became very painful during the last month. I think it may be the location of the setons.

Glad to hear it! Just remember the seton being in there will eventually make things better and hopefully it'll cut through and fall out soon.
I'm okay overall... Feeling more pain these days but I think that's just part of the healing process. I'm seeing my surgeon on Monday .. interested to hear what she has to say! Also, I will probably have measurements done on Monday so Ill get an indication of whether the wound is closing up any.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Thanks Kathy! Are you feeling more comfortable now - I find that you really do get used to the seton. Eventually you probably wont even know it is there. Some people leave them in for years .. although I know you def don't want that! I do think the seton was a good option for me as it let the area drain out as completely as possible.
I plan to take my percocet before the appointment for sure ... The scary part is I'm starting to enjoy my pain meds too much :) Now I know why people take them recreationally! Its the high point of my day :)
